The traditional head of Mokwa, the Ndalile of Mokwa in Niger State, Alhaji Muhammad Shaba Aliyu, has called for the immediate fumigation of the town to prevent a potential health crisis following the discovery of decomposed bodies.
The traditional ruler made this call while receiving officials of the National Council of Women’s Societies, Niger State Chapter, at his palace in Mokwa.
He lamented that the smell from the decomposing bodies could lead to a major health disaster if not properly addressed.
According to him, “Our main problem now is that places are really smelly that means, there are more bodies under the roof.”
The Ndalile thanked NCWS for its donation, particularly the support extended to women and children affected by the flood.
The President of the Council, Mrs Justina Yakubu, earlier explained that the gesture was intended to share in their pains, and prayed that God would take care of the orphans and widows left behind as a result of the flood.
Receiving the relief items, the representative of the Coordinating Committee, Mr Ibrahim Abubakar, assured that the relief materials would be judiciously utilised.
